With the Christmas season finally here, I think it’s important to think about the reason for the season and the importance of giving with love.
These are some of my favorite gift giving words of wisdom:
“The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.” —Pablo Picasso
“No one has ever become poor by giving.” —Anne Frank

It’s not how much we give, but how much love we put into giving,” —Mother Teresa
“You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.” —Amy Carmichael
“Life’s persistent and most urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?'” —Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward heaven.” —Henry Ward Beecher

“Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.” —H. Jackson Brown
“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” —Aesop
“Happiness is not so much in having as sharing. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” —Norman MacEwen
